[Turbo Lag]

Asics GT-2130 4E, $200, in Size 13.

This just adds to a huge collection of runners I have right now.

I'm not one to buy cheap shoes, but geez, $200?

Maybe he meant 200 AUD, which is 123.375 USD.
But I really hate runners, prefer skate shoes and sneakers more.

That makes more sense, I forgot to check the location.

Although I consider a typical "sneaker" exactly that, a running shoe.

EDIT: My latest purchase:

I was looking to upgrade my graphics on a tight budget, so I went with this. Should be a big improvement over my integrated Nvidia 6150se chip.

Nvidia 9500GT
1gb DDR2, should be decent. I'm not a hardcore gamer, as long as the game runs smoothly it's fine. Currently I'm playing Assassins Creed with everything on it's lowest setting and it's still going slow when there's a big crowd of people or something.

I have those exact shoes but in orange.

 

[Turbo Lag]

Yeah, so then we have the same shoes, maybe. The ones I have have more orange, and less blue then. And I have a few more shoes which are over or close to $200.

 

[Ram-Rod]

iPhone 3G

Finally a replacement for my old RAZR which was beginning to fall apart.

 

[Sureboss]

£307.99 + £45 worth of vouchers/rental credit for the store I brought it from. I used £5 worth of the vouchers for Assassin's Creed (pre-owned).

 

[CyborgGT]

Odyssey GYRO-G3 kit - I only needed to replace the lower-rear brake cable, which I couldn't find separately. Oh well, spare parts are always good.

EDIT - and I got ProStreet recently too; the car selection and customization are worth dealing with the bad driving physics... at least for $16.

 

[Scaff]

I loaded it up, played it for 7 minutes and then my PS3 stopped reading discs. It's going in for repair which could take up to 14 days.

Not impressed, Sony! It's only 5 months old and barely used! Looks like it's back to the 360 for me after yet another disappointing PS3 experience.

14 days!!!!!!!!

Phone up Sony customer services (08705 99 88 77) and complain, the vast majority of UK issues are dealt with via 'at-the-door' exchange.

Those people I know (and its not been many) who have had issues, have had all of them dealt with with a replacement unit delivered to the door.

Just purchased a Samsung BD-P1500 Blu Ray player. Got it for £155 incl delivery off Ebay. Play.com have it for £220 so thought it was a bargain.

 

[TB]

I just bought two tickets to The Producers at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. Table 233, so we'll be nice and close.

Not bad for buying tickets a week before the show. Bonus - we've been to Chanhassen before so we received a discount code in the mail for $20 off of each ticket. Double bonus - I chose print at home and it knocked off the $4 service fee. What started off $134 ended up $90.

My winter tires came in today! I ordered them from Tire Rack yesterday at lunch time...and they showed up today at 10am. Nice!

And now my room is even messier because I've got four more tires stacked up!

These are sort of an experiment. They feel soft as bubble gum, and I know the small siped treads won't last very long. But I decided to start with a hardcore winter tire because I'll be damned if I get stuck in anything I'm brave enough to go out in. These may not have much longevity because in my area the roads aren't snowy for most of the winter. We may have one or two big storms, and those aren't until after the new year. But we'll see. If these are worn out next spring then I guess I'll get a less aggressive tire and hope it lasts two winters.

 

[Perfect Balance]

I knew you bought blizzaks, but I didnt know you got studded ones, those should grip very well.

 

[Keef]

They aren't studded. Those are just rubber thingies left over from when they make the tire. I think. Either way, they're rubber and they'll wear off in a week. They'll grip great though. The rubber is very soft and flexible. It'll be a little harder out in the cold, but it's meant to stay soft in cold weather. The Falkens felt like plastic today.

I realized that just now and was going to correct my post but decided to refresh the page first, only to find that you had already corrected me.

 

[Blackbird.]

How does it play racing wise? I'm considering buying it because it's a fair bit cheaper than most games on sale at the minute.

Well it's definitely an arcade style racing but it's pretty enjoyable. I'm enjoying it I didn't even think I was going to get this but a friend wanted it so I decided to get it as well and it's not bad at all.

 

[FoolKiller]

I now have the real deal. And of course, I started tweaking my level last night and found myself lost in it only to look up and see it was 12:30 AM when I have to get up at 6:00 AM.

This games is going to cause a severe lack of sleep.

 

[Sprite]

Got myself...

Chanel Antaeus - 100ml

This is my all time favorite.

What unique costume did you get?

 

[FoolKiller]

What unique costume did you get?

Nariko. My friend pre-ordered from GameStop so I used Best Buy so that if we really can share codes we could trade.

We haven't tried yet, but I found a happy medium in case we can't. My Sackboy is a pirate sporting the Heavenly Sword. He looks like one pirate you do not want to mess with. I will switch my in-game avatar to a picture of him tonight.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Roland Cube 30 Bass amp.

Far Cry 2 limited edition.

Stage Pack.

Boss ME20.

I want this as my next purchase:
Kaoss Pad KP2

Cool. 👍 If we can share codes after using them ourselves, I'll gladly give you my God of War code. I thought I got a special God of War level, but it seems I just got the materials & objects to make one.

Yeah, gaming press said level but when they said that they were now available on the PlayStation Blog someone commented on having no level and one of the producers replied that it was just God of War themed creation tools.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

Decided to just buy 1 copy of each and rent the 2nd copy.

Will be picking up 2 copies of GOW2 for sure next week.

 

[Flerbizky]

One of these is on the way for the old 7.

[UnoMOTO]

Doesn't mean much to others around here but I'll give that a SHAWING!

Fingers crossed I can find a suitable, both weight and prise wise, Ti spring for it !... That should save almost one kg !... ;-)
